Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup & Refueling:
- Open the lighter by lifting the lid.
- Pull out the fuel insert. Ensure the cotton packing is not too compressed.
- Insert a new Zippo flint (if needed) into the flint tube.
- Using genuine Zippo lighter fuel (sold separately), carefully fill the cotton packing by directing the fuel into the fill hole until it is saturated. Do not overfill.
- Reinsert the fuel insert.
- Close the lid and wait a few minutes for the fuel to absorb.
- Flick the flint wheel to ignite.
Compatibility:
- This lighter is compatible with all genuine Zippo fuel, flints, and wicks for optimal performance.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Case: Wipe the brushed chrome case with a soft, dry cloth. For fingerprints, a slightly damp microfiber cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Maintenance: Periodically check and replace the flint and wick as needed for consistent ignition. Ensure the lighter is refueled regularly.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure the lid is closed to prevent fuel evaporation.
